Draft at GBBF 2013, Day 3 - London. Pours clear gold with a light, foamy cap. Juicy tropical fruits abound in the nose, stuff like pineapple and mango. Medium-big sweet flavor with ripe tropical fruits and moderate alcohol. Medium to full bodied with soft carbonation and oily mouthfeel. Sweet finish with still more ripe and juicy tropical fruits, offset slightly by bitter citrus rind. Nice beer.

Cask at the brewpub, day before Thanksgiving. Poured a dark copper color, orange notes, no head aside from a wispy, grey one. Chocolate is noticeable, with the base beer - spices and pumpkin noticeable. Cocoa is prevalent in this one. It’s pleasing to the nose, but a bit overpowering in the flavor - the pumpkin doesn’t come through as much as I’d like. Interesting at least.

Cask, day before Thanksgiving. Poured a dark, black color with actually a quite nice foamy off-white head. Aroma was nice roasted malts, some gourd and spice notes. Flavor was nice, roasted malts, some chocolate, a touch of spices. Pretty darn drinkable. Apparently they only made 10 gallons worth of this.

On draft at the brew pub. Poured a pretty dark, pretty much black color with a small, almost wispy tan head. Aroma was notes of brandy oak, some toffee, touch of vinous notes. Flavor was some light tart fruit notes, caramel, vanilla. Nicely aged in my opinion.
